The update said discussions with the National Gambling Control Commission’s secretary general, Lee Jin-sik, looked at “refining best practices in regulatory standards and strengthening certification frameworks for casino products and systems”.
GLI also noted that conversations with Kyung Hee University’s Professor Seo Wonseok “brought valuable academic insights into the evolving regulatory landscape”.
The firm further stated that engagements with the Korea Casino Association, an industry trade body, including with Lee Jeong-Haeng, general manager, and Sang Hwa Lee, assistant manager, “focused on how South Korean casinos can continue advancing responsible gambling initiatives, product certification processes, and system performance standards”.
